How are charities selected to be listed, are they charged a fee?
We select charities based largely upon their recognition as highly rated, major charities by respected publications, as well as their being sought out by donors for their well-known accomplishments towards their charitable mission. Charities do not pay to be listed.
Note: The charities listed are at the sole discretion of Charity Gift Certificates / Special Kids Fund and may be changed without notice at any time. Listings do not imply any affiliation and are solely for the purpose of offering as a donor-advised choice for the gift recipients.

How do I know that Charity Gift Certificates.org will be reliable in handling my charitable funds?
We, as a non-profit - Special Kids Fund, Inc. - are required to report our charity's financial information to the State of New Jersey: including our 501c3 IRS Form 990 and an independent certified audit. Our yearly audit is done by WithumSmith+Brown, a highly respected regional firm that has been rated by Bowman's as one of the "Best of the Best" accounting firms nationally.
Allocations (made quarterly) to the charities are sent "anonymously", in that user privacy is protected and the charities are not given information on the donor, nor recipient.
Once redeemed, the funds are designated to the selected charity; deducting 3% for credit card processing, a $0.50 transaction fee per card plus 5% administrative fee, (towards maintenance of the website, with the remainder to benefit special needs children).
The full amount of your donation is immediately 100% tax deductible, as a donation to our 501(c)(3) fund, even before the funds are actually distributed to the chosen charity. As such the donor relinquishes all control over the donation without legal recourse.

Please note that unlike for-profit websites and charity portals, www.charitygiftcertificates.org is run by a charitable organization with a distinct cause and mission, providing for special needs children. So using our service is worthwhile all around!

How do I know that it is safe to use my credit card?
VeriSign, our credit card processor, is a recognized and trusted leader in secure Internet transactions.
In fact, it is statistically safer to use your credit card over the Internet than in 'bricks and mortar' outlets.

Can I use my charity gift card towards a charity's special event or program?
It is up to each individual charity to decide how to 'credit' donations towards their special events. You will be offered the option to print/email verification of your designation on the redemption confirmation page. Depending on their policy, this may be helpful in verifying your directing of funds. We send allocations to charities following each quarter in one bulk check, for all designations made during the past quarter.

Do charity gift cards expire?
Cards do not expire and will be honored, for gift-recipient redemption only, at any time.
Should your gift recipient not designate a charity, we will utilize the gift for our 501c3 charitable organization. This insures that the funds do not lie uselessly dormant, but instead serve a worthwhile purpose. We always retain a reserve for honoring unredeemed cards.

How much of my donation, once redeemed, is passed on to the designated charity?
We will pass on the donation to the designated charity; deducting $0.50 per card + 5% administrative fee and 3% credit card processing - towards management of this nonprofit fundraising program, with the remainder to benefit special needs children. In some cases, a larger administrative fee may be required; depending upon how the card is purchased and the costs involved, e.g., affiliate marketing. Rewards program cards have a total fee of 10%. Purchase made directly on our website are in the 5% category.
The full amount of your donation is immediately 100% tax deductible, as a donation to our 501(c)(3) fund, even before the funds are actually allocated to the chosen charity (allocations are sent on a quarterly basis). Privacy is protected, the charities are not given any information about donors, nor recipients (unless opted-in).
Please note that unlike for-profit websites and charity portals, www.charitygiftcertificates.org is run by a charitable organization with a distinct cause, providing for special needs children; so that using our service is worthwhile all around!

What if the person to whom I am sending a Charity Gift doesn't designate a charity to receive the charitable donation?
Should your gift recipient not designate a charity, we will utilize the gift for Special Kids Fund, a 501c3 charitable organization for special needs children. This insures that the funds do not lie uselessly dormant, but instead serve a worthwhile purpose.
Per our 'Terms and Conditions' only the gift-recipient is entitled to designate the charity, which he/she may do at any time. Purchases of gift cards and certificates are charity donations that are 100% tax deductible at the time of purchase; and, as such, are non-refundable.
Cards, however, do not expire and will be honored for gift-recipient designation at any time. We always retain a reserve for honoring unredeemed cards.

What can be done with cards that remain unredeemed?
Gift cards are redeemable by gift-recipients only. The codes also never expire, so must remain active for recipients at anytime. Donors are pleased to learn that the residual value of their donation benefit our parent organization, Special Kids Fund, for special needs children.
CORPORATE ACCOUNTS: (80% after 8 months) We also offer this opt-in option to users. Although our cards are redeemable only by the gift-recipient and never expire, we enable our corporate clients to redeem a number of the remaining cards, to achieve the equivalent of an 80% redemption rate. This approximates the usage percentage for all gift cards, even merchant cards used in retail outlets.
Opt in for this feature on the confirmation page following checkout and you will be sent an email after 8 months for you to choose the charities the funds should go towards. The 8 month lag time gives opportunity for the vast majority of the cards to be redeemed by the recipients; however, even if they enter their redemption codes following the 8 month period, it will always be honored.
Cannot be combined with any discounts or used for cards bought through third party or affiliate links.

How do I order a charity donation card from my rewards program?
CharityChoice is offered in many credit card and employee incentive rewards programs. You can login to your rewards account to see if charitable donations are offered. Once you order and receive your card, use the redemption code on the back to designate the funds. You may select up to three charities from our carefully chosen, broad selection of worthwhile causes. Funds are sent to the charities quarterly, with a 10% admin fee deducted for most programs.
Contact your rewards administrator, if they do not yet offer charitable donations, to make a request that they add charity cards to the rewards offered.
